A New Ministry at Uplands Reach

It's a warm spring day - the sun is shining, the air is fragrant, and a gentle breeze is blowing.

As I work at my desk at Uplands, I all of a sudden hear the clop of hooves nearby.  Before I know it, a group of about ten college students comes around the bend, all on horseback, and pass by the window.  You can tell they are having the time of their lives - laughing, smiling, and joking with each other as they ride on by.

This scenario happens every Wednesday and Friday. A group of college students gather at the campus of Uplands Reach for a two-hour trail-ride on our gorgeous property led by our equestrian program’s leader, Justin Hatfield. 

With newly cleared trails, excellently trained horses, and enthusiastic leadership, Uplands Reach's newest ministry branch, His Reins, has been growing in its popularity with local college students.  With its debut at camps this summer, His Reins is hoping to be an effective outreach to the broader horse community of the surrounding areas.

Please take time to pray for this new equine ministry.  Lives are already being touched – and it’s not even our busy camp season yet! Please pray for Justin as he pioneers this new ministry.

Take a moment to enjoy some of the following pics!
